Serena,
Several studies have been done on bedrest after transfers vs. no bedrest and there's nothing which indicates any variance in pregnancy rates as a result. I stayed in bed for two days (self imposed) following my first (private) and second (NYU) IVF transfers - result was a chemical pregnancy and a disaster for the second one. After my third (NYU) IVF my husband and I went out to dinner in the city, the next day we went out on our boat, etc.,etc.,etc. This was the one that worked ... I basically ignored the fact that I had just had IVF and went about my business as usual. Also, remember when reading about success rates there are a lot of variables which go into these. Bottom line - no one has the magic formula as of yet and you need to do what feels right for you. Best Wishes, Debi
